What is PACT Toenail Fungal Therapy?
The longer you leave it, the longer it takes to treat and the more expensive it becomes to achieve healthy toenails.
It can be frustrating to have to apply the lacquers daily/weekly, especially considering it takes at least 3 months to see improvement, given the slow growth of toenails. Furthermore, prescribed oral medications can interact with other drugs and can produce adverse effects making them unsuitable for some people.
There is now an alternative…. PACT Fungal Nail Treatment.
A single PACT nail fungal treatment session will involve the following:
- The podiatrist will first debride and remove all of the infected parts of the nail.
- A special PACT nail fungus gel is then applied to the nail and left to absorb for 10 minutes. This gel stains the fungal cells making them sensitive to the light emitted by the scientifically tested PACT LED lamp.
- The PACT LED light is applied for 9.5 minutes, penetrating the nail and destroying the fungal cells.
PACT nail fungal therapy is 100% safe with no known contra-indications. Repeated exposure to the light does not produce any adverse effects.
FAQS about PACT Toenail Fungal Therapy
What is the most effective toenail fungus treatment available?
We recommend photodynamic therapy (PACT) as it is one of the most successful and evidence-based fungal nail treatments. Compared to over-the-counter fungal nail creams and ointments, which have a very poor success rate, PACT is incomparable in terms of effectiveness.
Can I use private Health insurance for PACT?
Yes, we accept all private health insurers. It is your responsibility to check that you have coverage for podiatry.
Are there any side effects of PACT?
There are no known side effects of PACT, making it a great alternative to oral medications. Repeated exposure to the light does not produce any adverse effects, and no pain is felt throughout each treatment.
The only potential side effect is that your nail may retain a temporary blue discolouration from the gel, although this quickly fades within a few days following treatment.
